Prior to operation

Prior to operation
Preparing for operation
1. Contact an installation specialist for installation. 2. Connect the power cable between indoor unit and outdoor unit properly. 3. Use a dedicated circuit. 4. If the cord/plug is damaged, replace it with only an authorized replacement part.

Usage
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time. 2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with stoves or other heating devices. 3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.

Cleaning and maintenance

1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges. 2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock. 3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. There is a possibility of injury if the units power is accidentally triggered on while cleaning inner parts of the unit.

Service
For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety
This appliance must be properly grounded. To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must always plug into a grounded oulet. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

Temporary Use of an Adapter

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

Temporary Use of an Extension Cord

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

Maintenance and Service

When the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.
When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. When the air conditioner is to be used again.

ENGLISH

Operate the air conditioner on Air circulation mode (Refer to page 21) for 2 to 3 hours. This will dry out the internal mechanisms. Turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the power cable.

Clean the air filter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 23 for cleaning filters.)

CAUTION: Turn off the circuit

breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. Dirt may collect and may cause a fire.

Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.

Remove the batteries from the Remote Controller.

Operation Tips
Do not overcool the room. Keep blinds or curtains closed. Keep the room temperature uniform.

This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.

Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.

Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight. Avoid opening doors and windows if possible to keep the cool air in the room.

Clean the air filter regularly.

Ventilate the room occasionally. Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.

Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.

Maintenance and Service

Troubleshooting
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center.

Case
The air conditioner does not operate. The room has a peculiar odor.

Explanation
Check room temperature setting? Check if circuit breaker is on? Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room. Check the drain hose is connected tight or if indoor unit is installed even.

See page
12,15 -

It seems that condensation is leaking from the air conditioner. Air conditioner does not operate for about 3 minutes after turning on.

This is the protector of the mechanism. Wait about 3 minutes and operation will begin. About 3 minutes delay is applied to protect compressor from frequenty on/off.

Does not cool or heat effectively.

Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning instructions. Has the temperature been set correctly? Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?

23 12,15 -

The air conditioner operation is noisy.

For a noise that sounds like water flowing. -This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside the air conditioner unit. For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into atmosphere. -This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being processed inside the air conditioning unit. Are the batteries depleted? Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions? This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.

Remote Controller display is faint, or no display at all.

Crack sound is heard.
